Research On Container Terminals System Of Tandem Open Queuing Network Simulation Based On WITNESS

Container terminals is an organic system, made of interactive and dynamic components, such as containers, ships, berths, yards, tracks, quay cranes and yard cranes, trucks, labors and communications, in a limited terminal space.At the beginning of the paper, a literature review on the domestic and abroad researches of container terminal system. Then the paper introduces the modeling methods and strategies of discrete event dynamic systems. It also explains the computer simulation technology used in container terminals system in domestic and overseas.Secondly, the thesis discusses the modeling theory of port terminal system-------queue network theory and the modeling software------- WITNESS. According to the finished system model based on tandem Open Queuing Network and a computer simulation model made based on the WITNESS, the author realize planar computer dynamic simulation which can...
